Rd6: Eels v Raiders GAME DAY thread @ Cbus Stadium 17/4/21

[eel01s]

Great win! The fact that we held them scoreless in the second half was the best part. You can see we went in with a gameplan, and to BA's credit, we stuck to it beautifully.

Moses kicking game was outstanding. That was some good game management right there.

Still making them drink great northern I see. Where's the f**ken RLPA?

Where's the RSA?

The acquisition of all the off season recruits has been great. I’m also still optimistic about Cartwright.

So happy with this win.

Sixties said in his TCT pod that Carty will need to tuck it under his arm this week and get his stats up. It was a good insight into the coach’s instructions.

lol BA ice cold in the presser but I bet he’s the first one to rip the shirt off on the bus back home

I think it was Voss saying he could be a Mark Tookey type cult hero. WTF? Hardly in that class, no disrespect to Tooks.

No disrespect taken, mate.

This papa can play too. Never noticed him and didn’t rate the signing, as anything special. Can’t recall a signing having such a huge impact in so few games in eels colours. The sky’s the limit for him.

Fuifui's first ever run for us in First Grade lead to a try, which won us the game against Manly.

BA looks a bit cold .... dont wear shorts ffs

He also needs to cap that front tooth.

Papa’s been one of our best each week.

Rheed closing in on the best hooker in game spot.
Papali'i is exceptionally good.
Lane cops it but was one of our best.
Moses was great.
Forwards did job but will be getting tired.
Grieg will be a work in progress but he has power.

If our backline was better we would be a whole lot more dangerous. I'm hoping the MJ thing is sorted and perhaps we can make a play for someone.

I felt like we blew a few tries while Raiders didn't look like scoring in the 2nd half.
If we get everyone fit we may have the best Pack in comp. We would be looking at Niakuore,Papali'i,Kafusi off the bench.

With Matterson,Blake and D.Brown out I thought we may cop a hiding. Id put that down as our best win I have seen in a long time.

I've been saying it for years - Reed Mahoney is an excellent player.

He was phenomenal tonight.

He's not as flashy as Grant, but he's a better defender, and has a better kicking game.

My favourite player, Mahoney. Such a gun.

Absolutely, mate.

He has been enormous.

He actually reminds me of a young Moimoi.

Aaand Ricky throws players under the bus.

Still makes me laugh that we got him off the bulldogs for a packet of salt and vinegar chips and dare iced coffee!

That just makes it so much better!

stick’s got some cold hard truths coming his way

Do the refs get told at half time they are only looking at one side, even last week it was obvious.

just don’t understand the level of refereeing currently

Alexander must hate the Raiders. He usually gives it to us.
The Ref's made two poor decisions on forward passes and one cost us. Well both did as the 2nd killed our more tum. But we also got away with a few. There was a bomb in last 15mins where the Raider almost scored that looked a bit off in our favour.

 

[Eelementary]

The thing I love about Mahoney is that he puts 100% effort into the 1%er plays - diving on loose balls, not stopping play until the ref blows his whistle, etc.

That, and he is a demon defender, with an astute kicking game, crisp passing game, and a little terrier when he runs the ball.

 

[Gronk]

BA is astute in what the press report about what he says about his team these days.

 

[Eelementary]

I knew we would be prepared for this game.

I felt it in my bones.

I knew that last week was a hiccup, because the real prize was tonight.
